Is anyone having trouble with vacancies in St. Louis?  I've had a couple 1 bedroom apartments in a 4-plex that have been vacant for 6+ months.  The property is in North Hamptom.

There is a house across from me that has been vacant for a couple months now. Rent is in line with market rents, so either it's weird inside or the owner is screening too hard.  We are in Dogtown, and there's like 3 other units available, that's it. I can't understand how it's still vacant.

Usually, you are either asking too much for rent, screening too hard for your demographic, or there is an amenity missing from your building that makes it less rentable.

Feel free to reach out and I can help you look for the missing pieces.

Cheers
